In addition, the 10-person dining table, as well as the lighting in the main living room, have also been replaced to suit her new owner's tastes.Photo: Bilgin YachtsThis summer, superyacht Starburst III will be located in the Mediterranean, where the owner will collaborate with Thompson Westwood White Yachts to charter the vessel.

A prominent exterior feature found on the motor yacht is her sky lounge which offers a complete relaxation area with jacuzzi and surrounding seats.

The main saloon also features an additional electronic sliding door and starboard doors which can transform it into an open saloon.Photo: Bilgin YachtsStarburst III is due to be followed by the next Bilgin 156, Lilium which will make a first appearance at this year's Monaco Yacht Show.
